Replete Brazilwood

#84084f
Notes

Replete Brazilwood (#84084F) is a deep magenta with a jewel character. It carries the deep, saturated richness of a gemstone. Authoritative and slightly formal, it works well for type and heavy UI elements. Its HSL profile (326°, 89%, 27%) places it in the highly saturated band at a dark lightness. Best used in small doses, like logos, CTAs, focus rings, or highlight text, where its saturation becomes a feature rather than noise. For a confident two-color system, pair it with its complementary teal. For something softer, pull in its analogous neighbors on either side of the wheel.

Etymology

Replete
adjective

Latin replētus, filled — past-participle of replēre. As a color modifier, replete implies a saturated-and-fully-pigmented quality where the hue is completely loaded with its source pigment. Sits at the bold-and-saturated end of the grid, parallel to brimming and suffused in usage.

Brazilwood
noun

Caesalpinia echinata, the dye-source tree of Atlantic-coast South America — so abundant in Portuguese-controlled territory that it gave the country its name. The color refers to brazilein-dyed silk: a saturated, slightly cool deep red with the warm-tone of brazilwood pigment. Deeper than madder, warmer than cochineal.

Moderately saturated colors gain a small bump in P3 — the difference is usually visible side-by-side on wide-gamut hardware but won't change the character of the color.
